We will travel through 50 years of murals that colourfully express the history, struggles, and culture of the Mexican community in Pilsen. We’ll discuss the political and socio-economic role of murals in this resilient community which is currently facing tough challenges in the city’s changing landscape. With over 40 years of collective experience, veteran mural guide and Pilsen resident, Luis Tubens will share the stories of how Pilsen became the area with the highest concentration of murals in the Midwest.
